Michigan Aggregates Association is Teaming up with the United States Marine Corp. Reserve

In the spirit of the Holiday season, the Michigan Aggregates Association (MAA) is  pleased to be continuing its partnership with the US Marine Corps Reserve and the Toys for Tots program to help reach their primary goal of delivering a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters.  By donating a new unwrapped toy at Christmas, MAA will assist children in becoming responsible, productive, and patriotic citizens.
 
This is the fifth year MAA has designated Toys for Tots as the association holiday charity. Participants include aggregate producers along with the equipment manufacturers and service providers (responsible for the production and delivery of essential raw materials used in our homes, buildings, roads, bridges and public works projects).  During the 2019 Michigan Aggregates Association Winter Conference a message of hope will be sent by providing an unwrapped toy during their Winter Conference.
 
“During the holiday season it is a nice change of pace to work collectively to make the holiday magical for those less fortunate,” Doug Needham, President of MAA and organizer of MAA’s Toys for Tots drive, explained. “It is really amazing that something as simple as buying gifts for children can bring so much cheer into the office.”
 
With the MAA Winter Conference being cancelled the official presentation of toys to the US Marine Corps will take place December 4, 2020 at 1:00pm at the Toys For Tots warehouse located at 3305 S. Pennsylvania Ave. Lansing, MI 48910. (Attached to the Salvation Army)
